PARISH OF DRUMCREE Mission Statement: Our Parish is a Christ-centred community. In Baptism we are challenged by the Spirit to live and share the Gospel message. Through proclaiming the Gospel message to all, Growth in Faith, Liturgy, Justice Issues and Ecumenism we extend our love and care to all people providing support in renewing and deepening our faith. We value the gifts and talents of each of our Parishioners and invite them to use these in responding to Christ's invitation to all of us to follow Him and spread the Good News to the whole world. www.drumcreeparish.com St. John the Baptist Church, Garvaghy Road, (1777) - 1977 St. Patrick's Church, William Street – 1835 25th March 2012 Fifth Sunday of Lent Mass Times: St. John the Baptist Saturday 7 p.m. Sunday 8.30 & 11.30 a.m. St. Patrick's Sunday 10 a.m. Weekday Masses: St. John the Baptist Monday 10am Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Tuesday - Saturday 10 a.m. Monday 7p.m. (Novena - Miraculous Medal) Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Thursdays in St. John the Baptist Church beginning at 6 p.m. Devotions 1st & 2nd Sunday -October - June Confessions: St. Patrick's Saturday - 12.30 - 1.15 p.m. St. John the Baptist Saturday - 6.15 - 6.45 p.m. Baptisms: Every Saturday, 5 p.m. Registration for Baptism must be made in St. John the Baptist Church, after Friday evening Mass, two weeks prior to date.

No, Lord. Rather am I overwhelmed that you hugged me to your heart upon the cross. The nails, the spear, the searing shame, sorrow, anguish, shattering stress and death itself - All this you bore for me, for me in all my sin and sorrow, anguish and shame. How could it be that I should love you not? Most loving Lord! Put aside all prize or punishment of any sort, you sweep me up in love and breathless I can only say, I love you, Lord, and I will love you always - love my king, my very God. Amen PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
